I am supposed to be finishing a report, but I want to play online for awhile. This is my last work-all-day schtick for awhile. Maybe forever. I need a nap, but I will go to work in a few hours and pretend that I am awake. I haven't quite perfected the fine art of sleeping on the job (and remaining employed), but I get a few ideas from the Beauty Thread and the mystery shopping Academy Award thread... Beauty mask now becomes Alertness mask. With a little putty, latex, or whatever works for your stage in life, you could sleep behind the right faked-up face. Put up a sign, making it frantic,desperate, and a little heart-wrenching, that you are unavailable until further notice or until the [fictitious urgent project of the moment] is completed.
Peeps will tiptoe past your office, see your Alertness mask, and silently applaud you for your diligence and willingness to put them off in the interest of work. They will nominate you for Employee of the Year.
Or not.
Bach is not noise, Madam. (Robert, in Two's Company)
